Everything You Need To Know About Jojoba Oil

Jojoba oil is most often chosen for balance and comfort. It helps skin feel hydrated without feeling greasy, especially when skin is combination, oily, or easily congested.

• Softness + smoother-looking texture – Helps soften dry patches and supports a smoother-looking finish without heaviness.
  
• Barrier comfort (less tightness, more calm) – Supports the skin’s moisture barrier, helping skin feel comfortable and less tight.
  
• Balancing shine (less greasy feel) – Helps skin feel more balanced and can reduce the look of excess shine over time.
  
• A supportive step for blemish-prone skin – Lightweight and non-greasy, making it a helpful option when skin is prone to congestion or breakouts.

Jojoba oil is a flexible step to reach for whenever your skin needs balanced hydration and a more comfortable feel without added greasiness. It’s especially useful when skin feels dehydrated but still gets shiny, or when your complexion feels out of balance due to seasonal changes, travel, or over-cleansing. Many people prefer using it in the evening to support overnight comfort, but it can also be used in the morning in a very small amount for a soft, non-greasy finish under moisturiser and SPF. If your skin is very oily or blemish-prone, introduce it slowly (a few evenings per week to begin with), use 1–2 drops, and keep the rest of your routine simple. Explore suitable options in Face Oils & Serums, or shop by skin needs such as Oily Skin, Combination Skin, or Sensitive Skin.

For best results, apply jojoba oil after cleansing and any watery steps, then layer it with moisturiser depending on how rich you want the finish. Start by cleansing with something from Cleansers, then follow with a hydrating mist or toner from Toners & Mists. If you use a treatment step, apply it next (browse Serums), then press 1–3 drops of jojoba oil into the skin, focusing on areas that feel dehydrated or easily congested. You can apply the oil before moisturiser for a lighter feel, or after moisturiser to help seal everything in overnight. In the morning, use a smaller amount and always finish with daily protection from Sunscreen.
